I may have mentioned this before, over the Christmas break we plan to paint the inside of our house, so domestic.

At the moment, I think we are agreed that all white is our color.

I so love this combination of white with wood, so clean and timeless.

Isn't this kitchen ah-mazzing. I love these Kevin Hicks pendants, they work so well in a white kitchen, actually I think they will work in any kitchen.

﻿

These stools are a little random, but I would totally love the clear one (or more than one), or even the grey one.﻿ We have also been looking for something like this in wood for our bathroom to sit next to a hurricane lamp.

We are avid hoarders of books in our houehold. I must create this library, and how about that couch... I think I would spend every weekend curled up on the the couch with books, chocolate and wine.

Finally, I'm loving the idea of th﻿e table setting below. So perfect for a night in for 2.

I have been on a quest for months (feels like longer) to find my perfect bag and now I've found it - at least a picutre of it anyway. When we were last in New York, I dragged poor Geoff into so many stores and I think I got a little overwhelmed with too many options and came away empty handed. It hasn't stopped me looking though.

Usually, I opt for a black bag but this Celine beauty ticks all the boxes - love it! Now to see if I can actually fine it.

﻿Over the Christmas break we have decided we are going to paint the inside or our house ourselves. Pretty funny considering we haven't a clue what we are doing - thankfully we have some family members who can offer loads of advice. I have been looking through loads of websites and magazines for inspiration and below are some of my favorites.

﻿I love everything about the way Tricia Guild puts together a room. This room is so light and airy yet still has loads of color, love it.

I don't know what's happening, it's still early November and everyone already seems to be getting into the Festive Spirit. Christmas parties are starting to appear in the diary, decorations going up, people already counting down the days - I haven't even thought about Christmas shopping yet! Time to get started...

I find the best way to get into the Christmas Spirit is to decorate. If only I had a fireplace and mantle - this is what Christmas would look like

I love this idea of a Christmas candy cane vase﻿ but maybe instead of roses, maybe some Waratah's. I love Australian native flowers.

﻿ Needless to say, I have also come across some stocking stuffers.

Toms shoes: found here Toms
They look fab, but more importantly, buy one pair and they give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.

First summer weekend is finally here. Finally it's 30 degrees and I don't have to wear layers of clothes.

As I cannot function without coffee - generally our first stop on the weekend involves coffee. Today it was at Padre at the South Melbourne Market. If you're ever in the area it is well worth the visit.

Finally I have a photo of the gorgeous Geoffrey smiling - I caught him off guard!

Coffee is starting to take affect - I am able to function again.

Finally, Sarah Jessica Parker was in town this week. I loved all the outfits she wore but this has to be my favorite, mostly because she is wearing a hair hat. Yes, that isn't all her hair, it is actually a hat made out of hair!
